Now I have less than 50,000 Kroner, but I used to have sleep problems and pain in my body in my back, arms. Now I'm on my feet all day, but the physical pain is gone. When I'm working, I feel I'm relaxing. #slowfood @favvoglass @malmosaluhall

Ubriacone just means drunken. Any kind of cheese can be coated with wine, or even packed in the spent peel of crushed wine grapes as part of the process. #slowfood

Denominazione d’Origine Protetta (DOP) Balsamico to be certified by the “consortium” (and receive its label and €10/ml price) must age for 25 years through a “battery”. Nevertheless no balsamic has an age, because the barrels are never emptied or cleaned

What are you doing here?

We are offering local bread that is made out of purely hyperlocal organic ingredients. Flours we find in the periphery of Berlin up to 100 km from city. Our intention is to present bread in a totally different way to make sure
